Armored Fist: "It takes Desert Rats and expands it into a whole new place" So you mean, having sold you the interim version at full price, here's what we meant to do so you can buy that too. Oh gee, but I get a whole free tank sprue... That kinda cheeses me off - it's also the attitude whi...

Not sure why, but the starter set (Force Awakens version) has gone from £32 to £13 in the last hour! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014TKHEPA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 So if anyone fancies a look at the game or just wants more dice and basic ships, probably won't get a be...

I find the hobby part of the whole gaming world the "best bit", so I won't mind. My painting OCD also forbids me fielding anything unpainted (I even painted the aircraft in one of my Axis & Allies editions, I'm that picky) In fact it's prevented me playing some games for months because...

Thanks to my iffy back I haven't been able to paint anything for 2 months (suspects all that "crouched over little tanks painting" was what broke me to begin with). But with 12 days off over Christmas, with part of that time subject to a wife-imposed "no sitting upstairs, playing on t...

I'm unfortunately unable to do that day - given that I've been unable to get down for a game the past few weeks due to a trapped nerve in my back, I'm incredibly lacking game experience and would just serve as Tiger/StuG fodder anyhow!!

Hi Chaps,Will have to pull out for tonight as I've picked up the dreaded office lurgy that's been doing the rounds, so won't be headed in to Duke's tonight.Pretty sure nobody would thank me for coughing, sneezing and spluttering all over them and their models, anyway.

Well the MG book seems to be all Veteran so point cost of my units has gone up somewhat compared to my Overlord list from last week - so it seems I should hit 2k without any trouble, possibly more - whether I can keep track of and effectively use so many pieces at once, is another matter of course :...

"Market Garden is the 'go to' book for British / Canadian lists " Fair enough, I only ever bought Overlord in the past and am a little hesitant buying any other books currently, knowing they are "technically" out of date. I could add the Market Garden lists to ForcesofWar at the ...

Time to find a list that plays as many Fireflies and M10s as possible, if Alex is coming with StuGageddon again :D Overlord certainly doesn't have double fireflies, just the standard "one per platoon", except for the 4th guards that offer a single 4 unit "Firefly platoon" instead...

Due to work I will be 50/50 whichever day/time you pick so I won't express a preference and whatever people come up with, excluding any other external factors besides work, I'll be there for 4 weeks in a row then unavailable the next 4 (and so on). I'll be working the next 3 weekends, but be around ...

I can show up a bit earlier if others are.I prob wont be able to hang around much beyond 10pm due to an early start at work next morning and the buses to Bradley Stoke (as with all Bristol buses) are hopeless, especially at night.

Well I'm trying to make a more rounded force, if anything just to use a bit of everything so I can use more of the rules. I've got one rifle platoon painting now (3 teams) and some PSC Halftracks as a small infantry supporting force. I'm still a tad confused with the v4 HQ unit & observers as bo...

I don't actually know how many points I have that I can field :) I will do a tot up and let you know. I'm quite convinced I have far too many Shermans, but I'm fairly confident I can put 1500 on the field without any trouble, unless that's a bit much for a newbie. Oh also, I've not got round to AA /...

I've got a really busy couple of weeks this week and next, but I'd be happy to give you a game in the week commencing 02 Oct if that suits? I've no doubt Stu will explain everything to you, so if there's anything you want to test out once you've gripped the basics (e.g. different force compositions...

Hi Stu, thanks for your advice - looking at that site, not entirely sure what I'd be paying for. I assume it's an alternative to buying the actual books themselves but stripped done sans fluff. So are these just duplicating the same info as what I have in my books (I have Atlantik War & Overlord...

Yea I enquired on the BIG facebook page and got a response along the lines of "never seen anyone play it here" so I think that answers that question :) Incidentally, I've been digging around and found a lot of stuff I never finished from a while back, a stack of British armour and some inf...

My work shifts will be interfering for the next few Wednesdays but I will then have 4 weeks of Weds free (I work a "4d on/4d off" rolling rota).Where do you meet up, are you at the Duke or BIG? (yet to have been to either)
